Israel Bombs Another U.N. School Full of Kids
killing at least 16 people and wounding more than 100
JERUSALEM — Israeli shells hit a United Nations school packed with hundreds of Palestinian families on Wednesday, killing at least 16 people and wounding more than 100, health officials said.
The strike on the school came as Israel's air and artillery barrage against the militant Islamist group Hamas reached a crescendo. More than 70 Palestinians were reported killed by midday throughout Gaza; Tuesday was the deadliest day of the campaign so far, when 128 Palestinians were killed, according to the Gaza health ministry.
Israel stepped up its strikes after 10 Israeli soldiers were killed by Hamas attacks on Monday.

In other news: The UN finds rockets and other munitions hidden in one of their schools, for the second time.
Oh, and by the way: Fuck Palestine, and fuck their perpetual self-imposed victim-hood.
I like how reason changed the headline of the source to make it even more blood libel-y.
Whoever wrote this headline is a cunt.
How dare you question the integrity of someone who graduated Summa Cum Linga from the prestigious "School of Yellow Journalism".
What the hell? I usually go to the BBC for my daily dose of antisemitism. I come to reason because y'all tend to avoid the hysterics that drive most media.
Yeah, because being critical of Israeli bloodshed = antisemitism.
I guess the holocaust means we can never question the joos.
Maybe Hamas should stop storing their weapons in / around schools?
